Re: Using File to count number of lines

sorry, i forgot to put file(); Sebastian wrote:

do this: $file = 'http://www.mysite.co.uk/mailing_list_database.list'; echo '<pre>'; print_r($file); echo '</pre>'; im pretty sure you'll only see 1 key.. if each has its own line, you would see something like: Array ( [0] => foo [1] => foo [2] => foo [3] => foo ) etc... Tom Chubb wrote:

When I open the list in notepad everything is on one line with a square box character. When I open it in wordpad, it's one email address on each line. On 04/08/05, Sebastian <sebastian@broadbandgaming.net> wrote:

you sure each is on its own line (\n) ? if you're only getting a value of 1 it is likely putting everything on a single array key.. Tom Chubb wrote:

I'm having a problem with the following code: <?php $file = "http://www.mysite.co.uk/mailing_list_database.list"; $lines = count(file($file)); echo "$lines "; ?> I'm trying to show the number of subscribers to my visitors from a text file, but it returns a value of 1 when it should be 5000. I think it's to do with recognising the line break but I don't know how to make it work!?! (I've looked on php.net for the file, fopen & count functions and can't find anything, although fopen mentions using the -t mode. Any ideas? Thanks, Tom
